Things Change

Meghan was lying on her bed. Kitty had offered her to go take a walk, but she declined, she said she didn't feel like taking a walk just yet. There was a slight knock on the door.

"Come in!" Meghan said.

"Hello, Meghan, what are you doing in bed? It's a bright sunny day outside!" Storm said, sitting by the edge of the bed.

"Yeah, I know, but I'm not really a big fan of 'bright sunny days'" Meghan joked.

"I can make it rain for you!" Storm joked back.

"Yeah, but that would just spoil everyone's day!"

"Hahah, yeah. So, what's been going on lately in your world?"

"My world? Well, nothing much…" She said, sounding a little bit bothered by the fact that Warren hasn't returned any of her calls. Storm had sensed her uneasiness.

"Well… I'll call you down for dinner alright?" Storm said, giving her a cheerful smile. Meghan returned that smile, and Storm walked out the door.

What can you be possibly doing, that's so busy, that you can't return my call! Meghan said, picking up her phone, making one last attempt to call Warren. This time, however, she was lucky.

"Hello?" Warren said, through the other line.

"Warren Worthington the 3rd, why have you not been answering my phone calls for the past few days!" Meghan asked, almost shouting.

"I was busy! Are you ok? You sounds a little bit… frustrated…"

"Frustrated! Listen here, Warren, the only thing that's making ME frustrated, is YOU, Warren, you haven't been calling me back, because why? You've been hanging out with Alexandria SOOO much, you've forgotten all about me!" Meghan said, tears starting to form.

"So what if I've been spending time with her! I told you, it's my choice! My life!" Warren said, shouting back. A voice asking 'what's going on' and 'nothing' could be heard.

Alexandria… Meghan thought to herself.

"Listen Meghan… "Warren said.

"No, Warren, you listen. Now, I can't stand you seeing her, because I don't like her…"

"How can you not like her, you don't even…"

"Be quiet while I'm trying to talk Warren! You don't know who she really is, ok? She was in my school, she used to pick on me and stuff like that…"

"But she's changed! She used to do that to me too, but she's changed Meghan! Why don't you give her a chance!"

Well, because your rich,and wants your money, and she liked to cheat on boys too, so you'd better watch out…

"Because, Warren, I can't! You'll regret being with her one day, Warren, trust me!"Meghan said, hanging out the phone. She lay back down on the bed, starting to cry. They would never get into a fight like this, okay, so maybe they did once or twice, but it wasn't as bad as this. It feels like their friendship's crumbling apart, right in front of Meghan's very eyes.

"Meghan, are you alright? We heard shouting…" Rogue said, with Bobby by her side.

"It's nothing Rogue… I just got into a little fight, that's all…" Meghan said, attempting to hide her tears from them, which of course, failed, because Bobby had noticed.

"Really? Then why are you crying?" Bobby said.

"It's nothing… trust me…"

"Well, we don't trust you about that, but we'll just forget about it. Anyway, Storm asked us to call you down for dinner, said something about mixing with your own 'youth community'" Rogue said, making Meghan laugh. This was making her feel better abit.

Everyone's been down lately, ever since the loss of their friend, Scott, or, Cyclops. Pity, Meghan never really got the chance to meet him. And now with Jean Grey missing, anything could happen. The Professor knew where she was, and planned to see her tomorrow, without a single threat, such as, Magneto. He offered Meghan to come along, for help, and she agreed to help the Professor deal with Phoenix.

"Meghan, it is a pleasure for you to join us! Please, have a seat!" The Professor said. She took a seat next to Peter.

"You looked a little down today…" Peter whispered to her.

"Why is everyone telling me this!" Meghan whispered back, helping herself to some food.

"Well, I think it's kind of obvious, don't you think?"

"I don't know…"

"Is that all your eating?" Peter said, referring to the small serving of food settled on Meghan's plate.

"Yeah, I'm not that hungry…"

"But you've been eating like this for the past few days! It's unacceptable! I shall help you with this!" Peter declared.

"But Peter! I can't finish all this!" Meghan said as Peter started filling up food on her plate.

"Oh yes you can! I saw you on the first day eating like this! Now eat!" Peter said once he was finished filling up Meghan's plate. The whole room started to fill with laughter.

And after about 15 minutes, Meghan finally finished, along with everybody else.

"What did I tell ya! I knew you could finish it!" Peter said, patting Meghan on the back.

"Easy for you too say!" Meghan joked. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go rest in bed now…" Meghan said, leaving the kitchen.

"Wait! If your going to go back, I'll escort you!" Peter said, getting up.

"Alright, alright! Let's get a move on!" Meghan said. Her and Peter got to know each other a little more while getting back to the dorms.

"Well, this is my dorm!" Meghan said.

"Hahah, well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow!" Peter said, leaving Meghan to herself. She entered her room, only to hear the ringtone of her handphone.

Warren… Meghan thought to herself. She immediately rejected the call. Things change, and it was too late for 'I'm sorrys' from him to her.

On the other side…

Meghan didn't pick up her phone.

She must've rejected my call… how can I be so stupid! Warren thought to himself, putting his phone back in his pocket.

"Warren, dear, come back to bed, please?' Alexandria said, referring to Warren, who was at the balcony.

"Yeah, I'll be right there, Alex… just give me 5 minutes!" Warren said back. HE felt His and Meghan's friendship tearing away slowly, all because of Alexandria.

What have I just done? I don't want to be with Alexandria, I want to be with her. With my bestfriend! I can't let a single person tear away our friendshsip! I won't let it happen! Waren thought to himself, coming back inside his room.
